Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter – 11/22/2009

Fusion CP Kidz Garden

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

This Sunday was the last Sunday we’ll be studying Deuteronomy (see the exciting announcement below).  The children again talked about being thankful to God and ways to show that they are thankful.  With your child choose someone to say thank you to this week and try to think of a creative way to do it.

Operation Christmas Child Update!

Way to go Fusion CP. With your donations, we were able to pack 34 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, exceeding our goal of 28.  The boxes are being shipped out and we’ll be tracking where they go.  This will allow the kids to see the impact of their endeavor.

We still need help covering the cost of the shipping, which is $7 per box.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated.  There is a jar in the Kidz Garden to collect money.

Thank you for helping with Operation Christmas Child!

Classroom Check-In

This week we will be moving check-in to the classrooms.  Please take your child to their classroom, where you will find the check in rosters and name tags.  There will still be a coordinator at the front desk to answer questions, greet visitors, and help guide people to classrooms when necessary.

The Buzz is here!

Starting this Sunday, November 29th, we will begin using our new curriculum.  Our theme through February is Surprising Heroes.  The kids will hear stories of everyday people that God picked to give special jobs to.  Those people trusted God and were
able to do wonderful things.

As part of the curriculum your family will receive an at home kit to help you continue the lesson during the week.  Your kit will contain a small toy and a set of cards.  The cards contain questions for your family to discuss together and the toy helps ensure everyone gets a chance to talk.  If you have any questions please feel free to talk to a member of the Kidz Garden Leadership Team.

Classroom Openings & Closings

Classrooms open for drop-off at 5:25 PM. We ask that you keep your children with you until the that time to allow the teachers time to set up and pray before the service starts.

We encourage our families to worship together.  To ease this, we welcome parents to check in and then take their children into service for the first worship set.  The lesson is designed so that you will not interrupt the class if you come in after worship.

Please be aware that starting 11/22 ALL of the classrooms in the TotZone area
will be closed and locked following service.  This is to help keep the children safe so they don’t get closed into a classroom accidentally.  There is a changing station in the family restroom located near Pre-K classroom as well as in the main restrooms of the church.

Picture Time Againgk-camera

We missed some of you in our last round of pictures.  Katy will be taking pictures on 12/6 before the service, so please bring your smiling face.

The photos will be part of your new permanent name tag, along with your family number.

Using pictures and family numbers will help ensure the safety of the children and, we hope, help people get to know each other better.

Welcome To The Garden

Your little ones are like seeds, ready to grow and become beautiful plants. All they need is some good soil, water, and of course sun. Your family provides the soil for their little roots to take hold in. We hope to work with you to provide water, the Word of God, to nourish them and help them feel the light of the Son.

The Watering Can

Chain of Thanksgiving

Cut strips of construction paper approximately 1 inch think and at least 8 inches long.  Write things you are thankful for on each strip.  Then tape one strip into a ring.  Take another strip and make it a ring
linking it through the first one.  Continue this process till you create a chain of thanksgiving.  Use this chain as the center piece on your dinner table to help remember everything you are thankful for.

Parent Notifications

Parent Notifications:  We will no longer be using the pager system to notify parents.  Your family will receive a permanent family number. If your child needs you during service a small window will appear in the lower corner of the worship screen showing your family number followed by a letter to identify which classroom to go to.  The classrooms are:

I – Infant

T – Toddler

PK – Pre-K

K – K+
